FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information or copies of the information collection(s), contact Judith B. Herman at 202–418–0214 or via the Internet at Judith-B.Herman@fcc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control Number: 3060–0742. Title: Sections 53.21 through 52.33, Telephone Number Portability (47 CFR part 52, Subpart C), and CC Docket No. 95–116. Report No.: N/A. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Business or other forprofit. Number of Respondents: 1,990 respondents; 1,990 responses. Estimated Time per Response: 2–50 hours (average). Frequency of Response: On occasion and one-time reporting requirements, recordkeeping requirement and third party disclosure requirement. Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. Sections 1, 2, 4, 251 and 332 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. Total Annual Burden: 5,850 hours. Total Annual Cost: $91,000. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: This collection does not address information of a confidential nature. Respondents may request confidential treatment of materials submitted to the Commission which they believe should be withheld from public inspection under 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission’s rules. Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this information collection (IC) to the OMB as an extension during this comment period to obtain the full three-year clearance from them. The Commission is reporting a ¥8,483 hourly burden reduction and a ¥$7,000 cost adjustment. This adjustment is due to a decrease in the estimated number of respondents/responses (from 2,027 to 1,990) that was submitted to the OMB in 2005. The annual cost estimate has also decreased due to an adjustment of the tariff and cost support estimates. In the 2005 submission to the OMB, the Commission estimated that it would PO 00000 Frm 00033 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 take approximately 149 hours for the estimate time per response. We have reduced that estimate to 50 hours per response. Thus, the total annual burden hours have been reduced. The annual cost estimate has increased +$7,000 due to an increase in the filing fee ($720 in 2005) to $775 per tariff. Part 52, Subpart C implements the statutory requirements that local exchange carriers (LECs) and Commercial Mobile Radio Service (CMRS) providers provide local number portability (LNP) as set forth in Sections 1, 2, 4, 251 and 332 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (‘‘1996 Act’’). The Commission requires the following information to be collected from various entities: (1) Requests for long-term number portability; (2) petitions to extend implementation deadline; (3) tariffs and cost support materials; and (4) recordkeeping requirement. (1) Long-term number portability must be provided by LECs and CMRS providers in switches for which another carrier has made a specific request for number portability, according to the Commission’s deployment schedule. Wireline carriers began providing LNP in 1998. In a Memorandum Opinion and Order, FCC 02–215, CC Docket No. 95– 116, the Commission extended the deadline for CMRS providers to offer LNP. CMRS providers began offering LNP in 2003. (2) Carriers that are unable to meet the deadlines for implementing a long-term number portability solution are required to file with the Commission at least 60 days in advance of the deadline a petition to extend the time by which implementation in its network will be completed. (3) Incumbent LECs may recover their carrier-specific costs directly related to providing long-term number portability by establishing in tariffs filed with the Commission certain number portability charges. See 47 CFR 52.33. Incumbent LECs are required to include many details in their cost support that are unique to the number portability proceeding pursuant to the Cost Classification Order. For instance, incumbent LECs must demonstrate that any incremental overhead costs claimed in their cost support are actually new cost incremental to and resulting from the provision of long-term number portability. See the Cost Classification Order. (4) Incumbent LECs are required to maintain records that detail both the nature and specific amount of these carrier-specific costs that are directly related to number portability, and those E:\FR\FM\04NON1.SGM 04NON1 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 214 / Tuesday, November 4, 2008 / Notices carrier-specific costs that are not directly related to number portability.
